MARSHAL MACMAHON.
The impartial and dignified attitude preferred by Marshal MacMahou in the late position of affairs in France was a subject of admiration. An issue of the ' London Tablet, ' says :—: —
M. Tirard, deputy for the Seine, has been trying to draw Marshal MacMahon, but has signally failed. To his letter asking the President's opinion on the political situation, the Secretary to the Presidency replies that lie is directed to acquaint him with the Marshal-President's resolution " simply to acknowledge the receipt of the numerous political letters which he daily receives, for the most part from personages of considerable mark, and unfortunately expressing the most opposite views." In the situation in which the Assembly has placed him he considers it his duty not to write letters which would ba generally published, and would not fail to give rise to dangeroH* discussions in the press.
